Yeah, most charitably it would be a nontrivial engineering challenge to get a guest path behind IASW from Village Haus; the guest path would actually be more of a bridge over the utilidor entrance area until you get around the back and then get to the grade. Plus you would be adding a guest path...

Market closing is incidental; Friday afternoons are just popular news dumps.

I think the biggest economic effect you could see for these capital projects would be the Fed’s rate cuts over the next year not going in Disney’s direction.

no one has ever been unsuccessfully fan-casted to the quantity of this man

The cope in my head is that all of the money spent on terraforming the northwest corner of the park will demand a return on investment that they won’t be able to justify backing off of during mediocre at worst economic conditions. It would take a once-in-a-century-shock to the world to halt it...

next Friday would be the real primo news dump; Friday rolling into a 3-day weekend and football season.

All projects announced at the event will either open by 2031 or end up canceled 2-3 years before that. They will open Tropical Americas, they will open the Avengers Campus and Coco rides, they will open Monstropolis on the DHS campus, and they will fill RoA and put Cars there. Roughly in that...

If you ever went to a theme park owned and operated by the Busch Entertainment Corporation (the theme park subsidiary owned by Anheuser-Busch before the hostile takeover) you'll know what it's supposed to be like. Just needed to make more money than it lost and the family kept it humming pretty...

We'll see what happens in the next few years. I think it's no worse than 50/50 Sox Flags will maintain the DC and Looney Tunes licenses but they might cede national exclusivity and open the door for Universal to pick it up in Florida. I think what would make it joining in less attractive for...

This is really fascinating to me to speculate on. I'm not saying that you will see Marvel Super Hero Island become Gotham City Island but a lot can change in the various industries in 10 years. 10 years ago there were 6 Star Wars movies. 10 years ago, Diagon Alley just opened. 10 years ago there...

Is there surveying of GSAT for someone's overall day at a park? It genuinely wouldn't surprise me if that is measured, EPCOT scores higher than Studios and DAK by a whole standard deviation.

Fascinating to me that combined WDW attendance has still not recovered to 2013 levels. Wonder if you asked guests who have been there in the last two years and 10 years ago if they feel that way?

I think it's a poor show quality attraction but as I have shouted a bunch of times into the void, it is a popular attraction at DHS in an outsized way. It's not even really astute business to unshelve the Door Coaster, it's basic supply and demand. Pretty fun imagining the what-ifs of DHS if...

I think if they could go back in time they would have given it a closing date of on or around January 15, 2024

DHS is just such an unpleasant place to be compared to EPCOT.

Not to go off topic into idpol, but you have to admit that deciding to mothball the attraction when faced with the possibility of having to add an AA for the first woman to go in there would look abysmal to the public.

I don't think it would be physically impossible to build Monstropolis behind the courtyard. Knock down the store and Mama Melrose, and build the addition behind it all. I think they won't do that because of crowd flow issues and creation of an even longer stump end like Sunset. That being said...

I think about how in the mid 2000s amusement parks had 4-D movies because of gimmicks like shaking seats and spewing water. MV is more extra dimensional than every other one of these shows because it has what, 3 AAs (?) and an actor on top of the bubbles and other in-theater effects. All of...

They run the stunt show like 5 times a day, taking up I would bet max 10,000 people in a day. If half full MV3D theaters was the average over a 6 and a half hour day, it clears the stunt show in guests served.

I think if they knew where it was going and what existing attractions it was affecting, you would have found out two days ago. If you do not hear about it by Friday, then it's definitely still not decided. Would be wild to pass up the two news dump opportunities like that if you already had the...
